Intern Success stories:
I would like to use this opportunity to thank Mr. Petrus and
his associates for a wonderful and unforgettable time spent
in The Empire State Building. It is only through their support,
dedication and professionalism that I grow as a person and as
a future lawyer. This was not only the best experience in the
professional sense, but also the experience that I will cherish
for my entire life.
Thank to you all,

I am very greatful to Mr. Petrus for the opportunity
that he gave me to work in his office. During my time
in there I learned a lot of about the American law and
how to work in an Amnerican company.
I learned not only with a brilliant professional but
a great person too. Thank you very much for everything
and for your patience!!

Working for the Law Office of Paul D. Petrus Jr. was one of
the most involving and profitable experiences I have ever done.
Usually big law firms lack of thepersonal relations that you
can have in smaller ones, this law office has the upsides of
bigger firms such as: several clients coming everyday, fast-paced
rhythm and also the good aspects of smaller offices like: many
responsibilities to deal with and a chance to learn a lot about
the profession. During this internship I have often accompanied
Mr. Petrus to the Court,
and it was great to follow the cases we were working for in
the office.
I am very thankful for the unforgettable opportunity that Mr.
Petrus gave to me.
